Add a privacy policy to my website
Many countries have enacted laws that require businesses to provide information about how they collect, handle, and process personal data gathered from visitors to their websites. We recommend consulting with legal counsel to determine if you require a privacy policy and, if so, what information it should contain and provide.

- Go to your GoDaddy product page.
- Scroll to Website Builder and select Manage next to your website to open your site.
- Select Edit Website or Edit Site to open your website builder.
- Go to the page and location you want to add a section for your privacy policy, and add a section.
- Search for the Privacy Policy section and select Add. If you don’t see this option, you’ve reached the limit of 6 privacy policy sections.
- Customize the Accent color and Title. Write or paste your privacy policy into the text box. If necessary, you can customize your text to include bold, italic, lists and links.
- When you're ready, select Done.
- Your changes are saved automatically. Use Preview to see the results and when you're ready to make the changes public, publish your site.
Note: If you are a customer in the European Union, the first time you launch a new Website Builder site, it automatically adds a blank privacy policy section in your site and a link to that section in the footer.
